Road charging and parking pricing (cluster 1)

Road charging• Not planning it• Establishing an

environmental zone• Plan in progress• A study on tolling has been

carried out• Current legal framework

doesn’t allow it

Parking pricing • Citizen and

stakeholder involvement

• Motivation:• to reduce car traffic in the

city centre • to direct longer-term

parking away from on-street parking

Cyclists and pedestrians (cluster 2)

Cycling • Bicycle paths and routes, contraflow

lanes, intersection improvements, overpasses and tunnels, traffic calming, 30 km/h zones

• Bicycle parking, a bike station• New by-laws• Perception studies, information

campaigns, pedelec promotion• Road safety courses• Public bike systems

Walking • Creating/enlarging pedestrian-

only historic centres, pedestrian-friendly streets and public spaces

• Improving pedestrian access and sidewalks, evaluating pedestrian crossings, routes for the visually impaired

• Traffic calming, 30 km/h zones

Data and apps (cluster 3)

• street network, speed limits, restricted access zones• proposed traffic schemes, planned road maintenance• bus stops, lines, routes and schedules• incidents and real-time arrival of buses • train network and schedule• parking information• real-time traffic conditions and traffic flows • air quality levels

Charging infrastructure (cluster 4)

• Charging stations: yes • Business case: not yet• Who finances?

• Local government• Private sector• Public-private partnership • Private sector with public incentives• Project funding

Public transport organisation (cluster 5)

• Lack of interconnectivity and of connections beyond the city

• Uncoordinated timetables, non-integrated ticketing, lack of passenger information

• Inefficiently used finances, high operating costs, high fares, high maintenance costs

• Too many people organising transport, too many operators, too many employees

• Old vehicles, low operating speed, low quality of service, lack of separated lanes

• Data not centralised
